    Didi is making him delete the posts! Wow!

    Jesus Christ, imagine if you accepted. I proposed a trade by accident that had me giving up a player to you and BTS inexplicably getting the return player for free.
  3. Laika
    You got one? Weird! I was thinking of a proposal for you then gave up on it. Because at one point you were a trade partner in the trade field it must have notified you

    He asked to have his account deleted after receiving a short ban. He didn't do anything to warrant a permanent ban and you don't really have a cogent point. I have half a mind to give you a timeout now due to the continued criticism of moderation practices. It seems that your intent is to create unnecessary discord.

    Noneya

    Nah he can come back at some point if he wants

    1-0 since Boxcar was permabanned

    Looks like I was the only person to get #1 right (ignoring Bichette)

    What’s with the profanity? Hurl makes a great point, showing that your post was off base. Be an adult about it.

    Pivetta could run a 5.00 ERA and its a significant upgrade for Boston

    I think he stopped being visible when MLB tightened up some COVID protocols. He might not have been allowed in the dugout anymore. I dunno.
  12. Laika
    Yeah, Billy Hamilton is basically just a better version of the guy they just DFA'd. You can't really ever start him. Bradley Jr. is not a complete zero with the bat - he can do a bit of everything and you can actually roll him out there as a starter hitting at the bottom of a lineup.
  13. Laika
    Rays should just have Chaz Roe start. Let him face the top 6, all righties, then being in Yarbrough.

    "trying to get Jansen's bat going" "I like Biggio to get on base and turn the lineup over" Biggio must have insulted Charlie to his face!

    Taijuan Walker is a name to watch. Not because he’s be an obvious upgrade, but because he’d cost almost nothing and there is some lightning in a bottle potential. If someone like that replaces Trent in the rotation is might be a small upgrade to both the rotation and pen.

    Anthony Alford vs. 4 seamers, career: .053/.143/.211 6 wRC+ 20.2 SwStr% (129 pitches) Compare to another horrible baseball player with similar tools package, Lewis Brinson: .222/.271/.415 90 wRC+ 11.6 SwStr% (920 pitches) Compare to one of the worst non-pitcher hitters I could think of in the modern era who got a decent amount of playing time, Paul Janish: .197/.286/.261 63 wRC+ 6.0 SwStr% (2029 pitches) Jeff Mathis: .178/.265/.280 59 wRC+ 13.2 SwStr% There are many, many pitchers who can at least make contact against fastballs more often than Alford has.

    He can’t hit an MLB fastball. Maybe some other team can fix the giant hole in his swing but that’s hard to imagine. I don’t think it’s a case of “needs more playing time”. It’s a pretty fundamental skill that he lacks.

    Fantrax is a f***ing dream. I think the only arguable downside is that the mobile app is not as easy to use but part of Yahoo's ease of use is obviously due to its lack of options.

    Joey Bart and Sixto Sanchez getting promoted. This goofy 2020 is kind of nice as a rebuilding team. Some accelerated timelines are helping me get MLB looks at a number of prospects. Skubal, Bart, and Sanchez so far in this league, Varsho, Bohm, Paredes, Jesus Sanchez, Seth Romero in the LoD.
  20. Laika
    If he never gets demoted they should have SIX years after this one. A good example of how absurd the CBA is for some players. Merryweather is cost controlled until he is 35. Thirty. Five!
  21. Laika
    Dan Vogelbach is an interesting DFA. Not sure I'd want Toronto to grab him but maybe a slight upgrade?
  22. Laika
    I think this analysis is correct. The Angels should be better than Texas but LA has already dug such a huge hole. Toronto actually has a very soft schedule coming up after 6 against Philly and Tampa. With Boston being horrendous the AL East is not a gauntlet at all: (win prob%) Aug 25, 2020 vs BOS 56.8% Aug 26, 2020 vs BOS 53.0% Aug 27, 2020 vs BOS 57.2% Aug 28, 2020 vs BAL 65.3% Aug 29, 2020 vs BAL 64.6% Aug 30, 2020 vs BAL 60.7% Aug 31, 2020 vs BAL 65.5% Sep 1, 2020 at MIA Sep 2, 2020 at MIA Sep 3, 2020 at BOS Sep 4, 2020 at BOS Sep 5, 2020 at BOS Sep 6, 2020 at BOS Then they have 17 tougher games (NYY x10, NYM x3, PHI x4) before finishing the season against Baltimore. Probably need to really do some work in the soft part because it's hard to imagine not losing a few games during the tough stretch.
  23. Laika
    It's not the $/WAR league but $1M + an option is starting to look like a nice little deal for Dolis. He's not the easiest RP to watch because he does not throw a low of strikes but he is still managing to miss bats and limit damage. If he can increase the zone% a bit, he could be quite good.
  24. Laika
    Offensively, that might be the worst 6-9 in the batting order in Blue Jays history.
  25. Laika
    The strikeout rate is starting to look like an actual improvement. Too early to say for the BB rate (takes longer to stabilize).
